Long Tail Lampshade

This beautiful lampshade features three long tailed tits perched on the pink blossom, inspired by the wonderful colours of Spring in Britain and the fantastic displays of countryside colour.

I created the original, handmade design from my studio in the heart of the Staffordshire countryside. It was created using free motion embroidery, an exciting technique where I use the sewing machine to 'draw' the details of the wildlife onto the fabric with the sewing machine.

This lampshade is an excellent reproduction of the original embroidery, and produces a gorgeous, warm glow for any room in the house.

Handmade by Jo Hill in the UK.

There are six sizes to choose from:

Small: 20cm (diameter) x 20cm

Medium: 30cm (diameter) x 25cm

Tall: 15cm (diameter) x 30cm

Small oval: 20cm (diameter) x 20cm

All lampshades are suitable for either ceiling and table/floor lamps. Please indicate whether you'd prefer a ceiling or lampbase fitting from the drop-down menu below.

Lampbases

The lovely lampbases in the photographs were made for me by the wonderful Natajaq, a family-run woodturning company based in Bath. Natajaq have agreed to make their beautiful lampbases available to my customers. They are available to buy when you purchase any lampshade.

The design is a high-quality print on velvet of my original Long Tail design in shades of delicate pink with subtle stitching detail on the flowers. The warm rose accents really stand out on the soft grey background, I have a professional photographer take a photo of my original work and then it is printed onto luxury fabric.

The fine, delicate stitching is reproduced in detail and and would make the perfect gift for any bird lover. These lampshades are proudly made in the UK, along with all of my Homeware and Original Textiles.

This is a beautiful way to bring a little bit of nature into your home! Long tail cushions, lanterns, coasters and placemats are also available.

Please note that I am happy to ship worldwide but due to the size and the fragile nature of the lampshades, it's better that all medium and large lampshades be sent on a tracked service. Please select the tracked shipping option at checkout.

Alternatively for cheaper international shipping you could have it flat-packed. You will receive the fabric attached to the PVC, with the rings and sticky tape separately. Full instructions with photographs will be provided for you to make up the lampshade.

For UK delivery you will receive the lampshade made up in full.
